I have not read the previous comments on this topic other than the last page, but I am going to guess my comments won't be in agreement with a big majority of you.
Don't kid yourselves, Capello is one of the best managers in the world. His record is second to virtually none. He couldn't get these players to perform to a decent level and to quote Mark Lawrenson at the time of his appointment "If he can't get them playing then no one can". Don't kid yourselves, losing Capello is a disaster. He is a top quality manager trying to ge the best out of mediocre media hyped up players who are just not good enough.
The timing couldn't be worse, virtually a given that Redknapp will be the next manager but I doubt he will want to take over at this very moment with Spurs still on a role.
Capello has been treated appaulingly by us fans and the FA. The only reason as an England fan that I haven't got such a blinkered view on Capello and his supposed lack of performance for us is because I don't live in the UK anymore and don't have to put up with the bull the red top media spews out.
It just shows how little he was thought of by the FA that he was allowed to walk out after an hour meeting. An hour is nothing for this type of decision to be made, Bernstein clearly couldn't wait to get him out the door quick enough!

Now what's done is done, time to build the team around the next generation and a core of Rooney, Phil Jones, Wilshere, Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Welbeck and Sturridge.
